Thanks. This is our cargo bridge. We're gonna start with the most downwind vehicle to see if we can find any type of narcotic, 'cause that's what he's trained on. Hey, sniff. Up. Hey, up. SUPERVISORY OFFICER GARZA At the Pharr Port of Entry, these trucks that we inspect have the capacity to bring in big amounts of merchandise. And just like they can bring in merchandise, they can bring in narcotics. So the narcotics interceptions are very big. OFFICER Come on. Hey. Sniff. My dog alerted on the tractor-trailer. Such a good boy. Yes. Good boy, buddy. He hit on the cab area of the passenger's side. I'm gonna go ahead and escort it down to get a scan. OFFICER I see anomalies. OFFICER CASARES In the cab area, it looks like the speaker box. OFFICER CASARES There's something in there or maybe it might be outside the speaker box, but there, we need to take a further look. OFFICER All right. We'll see. OFFICER Doesn't look right. OFFICER The speakers are disconnected. OFFICER HINOJOSA These speaker boxes are not common for a tractor-trailer. They normally have normal speakers like the ones that you see up here. Whenever we see boxes like this, that grabs our attention. That's something that we must check. OFFICER Watch out on the, on the metal. They're heavy, dude. SUPERVISORY OFFICER FARIAS Right now we have the speaker boxes removed. And you can actually feel the substance right here. You can feel it. We're gonna try to take it apart as easy as we can, but it's gonna be rough. OFFICER It's screwed on. OFFICER It is, right? OFFICER HINOJOSA Looks like it. OFFICER Yes. OFFICER Yeah. Well, he's got the drill. OFFICER HINOJOSA Yup. Most of the time, speaker boxes are glued, but on this one, it's not glued. It doesn't have caulking. And it's got screws. We're gonna try to remove the screws to see the packaging inside. Oh, it's gonna come out. OFFICER There you go. OFFICER CARLOS It's a crystal-like substance. In a loose fashion, inside one bag. So we're gonna remove those screws so we can leave that bag intact and have it all together. Could be a mess. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR In San Diego, in San Diego County, we've seen a large uptick in fentanyl being trafficked, smuggled, and distributed. So it's become a priority for this office. We have thrown a lot of resources at it and created a new task force to help combat the issue. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR In drug smuggling, one of the largest hurdles is getting the drugs from another country into the United States. And then once you've made it into the United States at a port of entry, like we have here in San Diego, San Diego isn't necessarily the intended destination for those drugs. They, they're gonna go to Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta. AGENT He's westbound. AGENT Coming up to Fairmount Ave. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Several weeks ago, we received information of someone in San Diego that was shipping, uh, narcotics, both cocaine and fentanyl, out to the east coast. Since then, we've been able to confirm his identity and a location that we believe he's staying. My teammates have already found him and are following him up on the highway. So we're just gonna catch up with the guys that are already out there to see what activities he's up to today. The goal of today is to build more information on the case. Hopefully identify other locations or other people involved in the case. At this point, there's no plans for enforcement, but you never know what the day's gonna bring. I think I'm finally catching up. What's the last location? AGENT Past the 5. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Ten-four. We are in the middle of a DHS-wide surge to combat the recent increase in fentanyl. We used to see fentanyl being smuggled as an, for lack of better terms, an add-on drug. A majority of the drugs smuggled in the vehicle would be predominantly meth, for instance, and then there would maybe be some cocaine and maybe a package or two of fentanyl. Over time we've seen it shift to the point where we're seeing a hundred pounds of just fentanyl coming through, no other drugs are in the vehicle. That obviously is a huge cause of concern for us. This isn't a party drug anymore. People are dying. We're gonna turn right and he's gonna be, yup, that's him right there. That Mercedes. Right there. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR He's out, standing on the street. Backpack coming out. Green bag. It has weight to it. It looked like he loaded that green bag. Headed for target location. OFFICER Hello. You're coming from Mexico? OFFICER BONO Today we're doing a special operation to inspect couriers that are coming from Mexico. OFFICER NICHOLAS What city are you coming from? TRAVELER Mexico. OFFICER NICHOLAS Now this is your bag? TRAVELER Yeah. OFFICER NICHOLAS Everything in here is yours? TRAVELER Ah, no. OFFICER BONO Couriers are individuals that actually make money to pick up goods and materials that are destined to come back here into the United States for people that are actually waiting for 'em. OFFICER BONO Yesterday, agriculture officers were X-raying courier bags coming off the Mexico flight. The officer noticed an anomaly in what appeared to be a candle. And upon inspection of the candle with the anomaly, a load of fentanyl was found. NEWS REPORTER The man claiming to carry food through JFK Airport actually had sixty thousand dollars' worth of fentanyl on him. Three candles that had nearly two and a half pounds of fentanyl stuffed inside. OFFICER NICHOLAS Fentanyl is a very dangerous product and we have never really encountered it in the passenger environment. Here, in the passenger terminal, it's very dangerous because if you're exposed to it, it can harm you. OFFICER DONOHUE This fentanyl inside a candle, it could have been the first test from a drug cartel, so we're doing a full blitz on all of the food couriers coming from Mexico. If there's anybody that might be a little bit suspicious, we're looking at that bag. You packed everything yourself? You did? Okay. OFFICER Candle? OFFICER DONOHUE Uh-huh. Can we take a look at this real quick? This candle? OFFICER Yes. OFFICER DONOHUE There's a candle inside the bag and that was the mode that was used a few days ago at Terminal One. Uh, so we're gonna take a look at this candle very closely. Got another candle. Nah, empty. Okay. OFFICER Ahh, more candles. OFFICER DONOHUE You got more? Same bag? OFFICER Yes. OFFICER DONOHUE Oh, wow. OFFICER DONOHUE All right, so there's three other candles. Thank you. OFFICER It's okay. OFFICER DONOHUE Yeah. We put the candles through the X-ray and it's a negative. OFFICER DONOHUE But we'll keep trying. All right. OFFICER NICHOLAS Are these yours? I just want to lay one down and one up. OFFICER BONO Shoes, sneakers, boots, it's a very common method of smuggling. You hollow out the inside and you fill them with narcotics. OFFICER BONO So we need to find out if anything other than what's supposed to be there is, is there. OFFICER NICHOLAS You see an anomaly right here, right? OFFICER Right. OFFICER NICHOLAS Okay. OFFICER NICHOLAS We found an anomaly in the toe part of the boot. Sometimes shoes made in different countries are crafted a little bit differently, so we like to just make sure that everything is on the up and up. The way these boots are constructed, there's a very thick piece of wood with rubber on the bottom of the shoe. So even though it's very thick and it's very dense, I was able to probe through the material and I saw that there, uh, was no anomaly. I just want to double check the heel as well because sometimes you may be focused on one part of the shoe and not take a look at the other part. So it's heavy right in this block. OFFICER Okay. OFFICER NICHOLAS Yeah, it's good. Everything is consistent with the way the boot is supposed to be constructed. OFFICER This is some kind of liquid. OFFICER NICHOLAS Yeah. OFFICER But if you look at here. OFFICER Same company. OFFICER It's creamy. OFFICER NICHOLAS Hmm. And this goes all the way down? OFFICER Yeah. All the way down. I checked. OFFICER NICHOLAS It goes all the way down, okay. All right, do you mind if I just test, both of them? OFFICER Yeah. OFFICER NICHOLAS Okay. This courier, he is bringing in four bottles of deodorant. One of them looks unusual in a sense that the consistency is different from the rest. So we just want to make sure it's good. If it's something that's very small and there's no match found and the only inconsistency is the texture of it, it's good to go for me. Thank you, sir, for your time. TRAVELER Yeah. OFFICER NICHOLAS I do appreciate it, okay? TRAVELER You're welcome. Thank you. OFFICER NICHOLAS One of the bigger challenges that we face is the fact that a lot of these couriers, they're bringing in legitimate items but sometimes things can be something, it can be something so innocuous, something so small, like a-a candle. So it just makes the game a little bit more difficult to play. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Car is unoccupied. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR He's back out. Break. Somebody's back out. We're into the driver's seat. Driver door closed. Brake lights on. Car is away, away, away. Eastbound. I wonder if he's trying to find parking. I don't think he was in a valid spot. Yeah, here he comes again. AGENT I'm gonna pull out and maybe give him my spot. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR He's coming right at us. And he's got really good tint, so I can't get a side profile photo. AGENT Yeah, he's looking for a parking spot. AGENT Somebody's pulling out and he's gonna pull into that one. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Yup. Good job, Steve. Give him that spot. He's gonna walk right by me. I'm gonna try to get a clear photo of him. Oh, that's fantastic. AGENT He's probably like, "I can't believe my luck." SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Yeah. That parking spot is courtesy of the federal government. Head on a swivel like he's looking for someone. Or like he's being directed to something. I don't know if he's looking for someone else or looking for us. But he's still on speakerphone, grabbed the bag out of the back. This bag is more like a plastic shopping bag. He just loaded back up in the driver's seat. Reverse lights on. Backing out of the stall. And it's away, away, away. He is westbound. Making a left. AGENT Yeah, he's crossing Market on 11. Market on 11, northbound. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Oh, there he is, right there. So this G Street is the one that'll turn into State Road 94, which is a highway, in a couple blocks. If by chance this person goes to some type of shipping facility, that's of great interest to us and if that happens, we may end up intercepting a package today. AGENT Looks like he may have pulled up into a shopping center. AGENT All right. There's a PostalAnnex over here. AGENT I think that's where it's parked. Yes, confirmed. AGENT It's parked out in front of a PostalAnnex in the shopping center. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Okay. Just try to keep eyes on, see if he brings any packages inside. He just pulled into the parking lot of a strip mall that has a commercial shipping business, which is of great interest to us because we know that he ships out packages of dope. So we're gonna get set up and see if he goes in to try to send something out. Oh, there he is. I'm gonna go in and get eyes on and see what he's got. I'll be off the air. OFFICER CARLOS One big bag. It looks crystal-like substance. OFFICER Don't tear the bag up. OFFICER CARLOS There we go. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Uh-oh. OFFICER HINOJOSA The reason why, as per policy within CBP, we are required to wear protective gear is because of this. The bag broke and the substance is all over the table. If we do get exposed, it could go bad very fast. OFFICER CARLOS Can we have another bag? OFFICER Is it loose? OFFICER CARLOS Yeah. OFFICER CARLOS We're gonna have to carefully try to lift it. Get that, that, get that loose stuff. Did it drop? OFFICER HINOJOSA Yeah, but it's 'cause the bag's tearing down here. OFFICER CARLOS Yup. On this side too. OFFICER CARLOS Typically they put it in ziploc bags and wrap it with cellophane or tape. That makes a real intact brick and it's real hard for us to break the package completely, like right now. We still have a second box to open up. OFFICER HINOJOSA Since we opened up the first one, the second one is always easier. OFFICER CARLOS Seizure bags. OFFICER HINOJOSA I'm gonna be testing it. Right there. OFFICER HINOJOSA On the money. OFFICER CARLOS You saw that? OFFICER HINOJOSA Uh-hmm. Here it is. It tested positive for methamphetamine. OFFICER CARLOS Gonna find out a weight. OFFICER CARLOS Thirty-four point sixty-eight kilograms . SUPERVISORY OFFICER FARIAS For the Pharr Port of Entry, the advantage of working at the import lot here is that when we do encounter a load, it tends to be pretty substantial. The more narcotics we can get out of the community, the better off the community will be. The driver will be arrested and prosecuted. And the methamphetamine will be seized. OFFICER CARLOS One bag at a time, right? OFFICER BONO Everything in the bags are yours? TRAVELER Yeah. OFFICER BONO Did you pack the bags yourself? TRAVELER Yeah. OFFICER Doesn't look right. OFFICER DONOHUE It seems that the X-ray technicians have discovered something inside one of the bags. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna search further to see if, in fact, it was just an anomaly or it might be a drug. Thank you. Could you ask him if he packed everything himself for me, please? OFFICER No, he didn't. Somebody else packed it for him. OFFICER DONOHUE Oh, really? He just picked it up, he didn't pack it. Oh, wow. All right. See what we got here. What is this, se�or? TRAVELER Tequila. OFFICER DONOHUE Tequila. All right. Tequila. Yeah, wow. That's a big bottle of tequila, I must say. I got a few things here I'm gonna look at. I'm gonna look at those capsules, I'm gonna look at that liquid right there. It seems that this gentleman only picked up the bag. He did not, in fact, pack the bag. So that, that's an interesting twist on this specific courier, which shows anything could be in here without his knowledge. Yeah, that's tequila all right. Okay. What do we have here, sir? What's this? TRAVELER Candy. OFFICER DONOHUE Candy. [speaking Spanish] Candy. TRAVELER [speaking Spanish] Candy. OFFICER DONOHUE Okay. We're really trying very hard to look at every courier coming in. We're trying to see if there's a, if there's a trend in drug smuggling. All right. So I just opened up one of the candies, there's nothing inside it. These look like some kind of cracker. Looks like it might be corn or rice. OFFICER DONOHUE [speaking Spanish] Cheese? TRAVELER No. TRAVELER [speaking Spanish] Nuggets. OFFICER DONOHUE [speaking Spanish] Coconut milk rolls. [speaking English] Yeah. All right. Okay. Basically all kinds of sweets. It looks like they, in fact, are just sweets. I don't see anything here. First I'm gonna test the powder. Testing for heroin and cocaine. Okay. It's supposed to turn to green. But it doesn't look like there's a reaction, so this, obviously, this is not heroin. But I'm gonna test it for cocaine. Okay. All right. And we're looking for pink over blue. It's a negative on this, also. All right, here you go. I'm gonna test this liquid for opioids. No results. Thank you, se�or. We appreciate your patience. TRAVELER Thank you. OFFICER DONOHUE Thank you so much. OFFICER DONOHUE [speaking Spanish] See you later. [speaking English] I do take it personally because I've had family members that have had problems over the years with, with, with, with substance abuse. But I'm confident that if they continue to bring them in with the couriers that we're gonna find it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR I was able to just walk up and he didn't notice. He's looking for a box. But that looks like a dope package to me. HSI AGENT I agree, the way it's wrapped. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Okay. HSI AGENT Looks like he's coming out if you wanna do it now. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR He may be loading the box up right now. Yeah. Let's go ahead and bring a car in behind him. HSI AGENT Roll down your window. HSI AGENT Police. HSI AGENT Step out of the vehicle with your hands where we can see them. HSI AGENT Open the door. HSI AGENT Open the door. HSI AGENT Police. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Unlock the door now. Do it now. You've got plenty of time. Unlock it. Step out. HSI AGENT Put your hands on the car. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Hands on the car. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR On the car. On the car. Do you have any weapons on you? SUSPECT No. No weapons. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Okay. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Can I look in your car? SUSPECT Yeah. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Okay. All right. Just relax right here for me, okay? SUSPECT All right. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR We followed our shipper and he went to a PostalAnnex. I followed him in, I basically saw the package before he boxed it. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR We had reason to believe that he was about to ship out a package. We weren't gonna allow him that opportunity to get those drugs out onto the street where we couldn't intercept them. So we did an impromptu encounter with him and then ultimately he gave us consent for the vehicle. We're gonna bring in a dog to not only sniff that package, but also the rest of the car and see what else we can find. HSI AGENT Is that a hit? SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a, that's a good hit. That's also an alert. HSI AGENT We got it. CBP OFFICER Hello, sir. [speaking Spanish] SUPERVISORY OFFICER GARZA The Pharr Port of Entry processes about 2,500 trucks daily. Up to 2,700 on a very busy day. CBP OFFICER All righty, sir. Here you go. TRAVELER Thank you. SUPERVISORY OFFICER GARZA We're right across the river from Reynosa, Mexico. There is areas of Reynosa that is controlled by some of the cartels. CBP OFFICER [speaking Spanish] What are you hauling? TRAVELER [speaking Spanish] Cabinets. CBP OFFICER [speaking Spanish] Cabinets? Okay. SUPERVISORY OFFICER GARZA They use this bridge, in particular, to get narcotics up into the big cities. We have to focus on trying to intercept that merchandise before it comes into the country. Because it won't just affect one person, it'll affect thousands, if not millions of people depending on what the narcotic is. CBP OFFICER All right. Thank you. [speaking Spanish] Thank you. OFFICER HERNANDEZ The way I start my search of the trucks, I work my way from downwind all the way to upwind. OFFICER HERNANDEZ Hopefully get lucky and catch something. Up, up, up. Up. Attagirl. She's trained on narcotics and human scents. An alert can happen any time with that little head turn. She'll pick it up. Her body posture will change, her breathing, and of course she'll pull me to it. Up, up, up. Attagirl. Up, up, up. Up, up. Attagirl. Girl, hey. Let's go. Up, up. Up. Where is it, girl? Yeah. Definitely this one is gonna go in. My dog alerted to the odor for some narcotics. She started going up on her own with no commands. She went in, alerted, and indicated. So I'm gonna send this vehicle back to further inspections. OFFICER NICHOLAS Just wait right at the green tape and the officer will call you right up. TRAVELER All right. OFFICER BONO What are they? CBP OFFICER It's not organic. It's some sort of plastic or glass, but there's something in there. OFFICER BONO Fentanyl was found yesterday inside of candles, so we're checking the X-rays to see anything that might resemble or look like a-a tall cylindrical object. Could be, could be anything. Where do you live? TRAVELER Here in New York. In Queens. OFFICER BONO In Queens. TRAVELER Yeah. TRAVELER It's coconut bread. OFFICER BONO Yeah. Well, I'm wondering why there's a piece of paper there. TRAVELER It's just bread. It's a sweet bread. TRAVELER You wanna keep one? Keep one. OFFICER BONO No. No, I can't. Oh, I see. That's how it's baked. TRAVELER Yeah, they're made special that way. OFFICER BONO All right. TRAVELER These are candles. OFFICER BONO Oh. How many of them? TRAVELER Three. OFFICER BONO Three? TRAVELER Yeah. OFFICER BONO Okay. All right. So the passenger I have now has one checked bag and one courier bag. So these candles have piqued our interest. No more in here? TRAVELER No. OFFICER BONO They weren't exactly the same candles as we saw yesterday, but it could be that that's the concealment method that's hot right now or the method that they're using. So we're going to thoroughly X-ray those candles and then we're going to probe them to make sure that there is nothing but wax in the candles. CBP OFFICER Yeah. OFFICER BONO Can you run these through the X-ray? CBP OFFICER Yup. OFFICER BONO Thank you. OFFICER BONO How do we look? Nothing? CBP OFFICER No, nothing. CBP OFFICER You want me to probe it? OFFICER BONO Yeah. The X-rays appear negative. We're gonna probe one of them. CBP OFFICER We're good. OFFICER BONO My luck I find the candles that are actually candles. Here's your candles. OFFICER BONO X-ray was negative and the probe of two of the candles was negative as well. All right. Sorry. TRAVELER No, that's okay, my friend. OFFICER BONO We have to check. TRAVELER You're doing your job. I know. I understand. OFFICER BONO We have to check, all right? TRAVELER I understand. Yeah. Don't worry. OFFICER BONO All right? TRAVELER Yeah. OFFICER BONO Just, just what you do is just light it and then just put a little wax along the side, it'll stay, okay? TRAVELER Okay. OFFICER BONO Thank you, my friend. TRAVELER No problem, my friend. OFFICER BONO Thank you. Have a good day. Fentanyl is just a very, very bad and dangerous substance. It has to be kept off the streets. And yesterday was-was a start. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything but we will be at it again tomorrow and hopefully we'll have better success. CBP OFFICER So we're gonna start taking them apart. OFFICER CARLOS We're gonna have to disassemble every single pallet and go through a thorough inspection of every single item in this truck. SUPERVISORY OFFICER FARIAS We have to visually inspect every sheet, we gotta make sure. SUPERVISORY OFFICER FARIAS So that's why we're checking them individually. CBP OFFICER Bingo. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR So at this point, we have one package. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR It looks to be about one kilo . It's a white powdery substance. Now that we have the package secured, we're gonna test it to know exactly what we're working with. Xylazine. Yeah, we don't see that a lot out here. So the first test came back positive for xylazine. That's a pharmaceutical commonly used in horse tranquilizers and also commonly found as a cutting agent for fentanyl. It's more of an east coast trend at this point. We haven't seen a lot of cases out here in Southern California. So this is a type of fentanyl testing strip. What happens sometimes on a laser is that the laser is so pinpoint that it may actually be hitting a substance that just a few molecules or a few granules over to the left or to the right would've, would've been a different result. But with this testing strip, it kind of runs it all together and detects any traits or qualities of fentanyl being present. You take a small sample and you mix it with the solution. One bar means it's positive for fentanyl and then two bars means it's negative. So this one tested positive for fentanyl. A mixture of fentanyl and xylazine, it can be deadly to anybody who uses it. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR That's fentanyl mixed with some xylazine. It's not in the rectangular form still, so whatever brick it came out of, it got broken down. Is there more back at the house? SUSPECT No. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR Okay. All right. We're gonna go back there. So we're pretty much wrapping up here. We're gonna break down and head over to the house. And we'll effect a search on his residence. SPECIAL AGENT CONNOR We just left a commercial shipping center and we are now headed back to the subject's residence. He's given us consent to search his house. We're looking for anything that helps further our case. It could be other drugs, money, or, potentially, legers, electronic devices. Anything that connects the dots in this case. All right. I think we're good. I'm going to move these to my truck and start bagging these. So a baggy full of what? Four white oval pills. We'll have to run these to get these tested. I think there's about 14 M-Thirty pills. These are commonly called "counterfeit oxys." The gun would appear to be a nine-millimeter, but it is a ghost gun, or a homemade pistol. Next is to get this turned into evidence. There's also a number of addresses and mailing forms that are inside that'll give us other leads. We have to balance removing the drugs from the street while also building a good investigation. In this case, we were able to effect an arrest while he, or just prior to him shipping drugs out to the east coast. With this arrest today, we've stopped this shipper, which obviously he's not working in isolation. So now we work to develop more information about the network that he's working with, both here in San Diego and also co-conspirators out on the east coast. So we've shut down this one, but now we move on to the next. CBP OFFICER You can see we've got some narcotics. CBP OFFICER This is a pretty significant load right here. OFFICER HINOJOSA Could be marijuana, could be cocaine. So we have to treat it as an unknown at this point. CBP OFFICER Over here. CBP OFFICER Oh, wow. CBP OFFICER You got more, right here. CBP OFFICER Gonna be a lot. CBP OFFICER Next one. CBP OFFICER Another one. CBP OFFICER Yup. There you go. OFFICER CARLOS One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. OFFICER CARLOS Right now we're looking at about 10 packages per pallet. We have 11 pallets. CBP OFFICER We're gonna be testing it and see what it is. OFFICER HINOJOSA We need to make sure what we're dealing with before we extract it. It's a green, leafy substance and it's emitting the odor of what appears to be marijuana. OFFICER CARLOS A purple-ish shade of lilac. And that will indicate a positive for marijuana. The advantage of doing it in a cargo environment, it makes it easier to transport. They do it in one truck and you only pay one person in the case of the smuggler instead of getting 50 different individuals involved. Stack 'em? CBP OFFICER Stack them up. OFFICER CARLOS Okay. We're gonna proceed and find out a weight. Twenty-three pounds . We're about six pallets in and we have about 288 kilograms so far. It's just dirty, hot, and humid out here. A little tiring, a little workout. Seventy-eight. CBP OFFICER One more layer. OFFICER CARLOS The final count is eighty-five bundles. OFFICER CARLOS Totaling 876 kilograms . It is a pretty big bust. It's amazing for CBP to have gotten two seizures on the same day. One of methamphetamine and marijuana. We're gonna transport all the narcotics to a secure location and our local vault. And then eventually it gets destroyed. OFFICER CARLOS A large population of the United States thinks that marijuana is not such a big deal, but at the end of the day, it leaves money for the cartel to attempt and bring other hard narcotics that are really dangerous for our, our communities. Especially fentanyl, which is very easily produced and smuggled into the United States. So it feels great and it's a big hit for the cartels in Mexico.
